DUT has enabled MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and SSPR (Self Service Password Reset) for all student email accounts. This means that all students will have access to securely change their email passwords and/or unlock their accounts. Students can choose to either authenticate via the Microsoft Authenticator app, or authenticate via their mobile phone (receiving an sms).
To setup this service, please follow the instructions in the following document: MFA & SSPR setup
